Sodium chloride, sulfur, and methyl alcohol are insoluble in petroleum ether due to their polar nature and the non-polar characteristics of petroleum ether. Sodium chloride is an ionic compound, while sulfur is a nonpolar solid, and methyl alcohol, although polar, has a hydroxyl group that does not interact favorably with the predominantly nonpolar hydrocarbon chains of petroleum ether. This mismatch in polarity leads to poor solubility for these substances in petroleum ether.

Why is sulphur insoluble in both water and petroleum ether?

Sulfur is insoluble in water because it is a nonpolar molecule, while water is a polar solvent. In the case of petroleum ether, sulfur is also insoluble because it does not have a compatible polarity or chemical structure with the nonpolar solvent. This lack of solubility is due to the differences in the intermolecular forces between sulfur and the two solvents.
